Welcome to the professional world where everything is iterative and and 95% of your clients (internal or external) are data illiterate and don't want to learn whatever self service tools you build.

Yeah it’s going to wild I can already tell. I know your right to as it’s only a small company I work for, less than 10 of us and they all complain about stupid things the clients do.

I have a colleague who is the contact for a dude that takes a picture of a site with his phone, so he photographs the monitor. Which I know isn’t that unusual, but wait.

He then emails this to himself, perhaps to have it on his desktop. Proceeds to print off the image, but not just the image, but the image as it appears in the email. THE ACTUAL EMAIL.

Then he will annotate the printout and I shit you not, will take another photo, but this time of the printout. Inception level shit.

He then sends that in by ~~carrier pigeon~~ email.
